One thing to mention is that there is a slight bend in the rod so don’t try to straighten it! Thanks!

Awesome!! The feeling of driving a tight shift vehicle… feeling like a new car… Priceless!

Anthony says:

Great video, thanks . I'm wondering would a worn or broken bushing cause the gear shift to pop out of gear when I put it in reverse or is that the trans ?

ErosRoy Arocho says:

Great video with good tips. I thought I was the only one that donated skin an blood, every time I turn wrenches. ( XXXL) size paws, Lol.

Vayabroder says:

I’ve heard of horror stories installing these; yet the two times I’ve done it they’ve gone in perfectly and easily; first try. The second one I installed though was a problem after I installed the bushing. Somehow the rod got caught somewhere in the back behind the emergency brake. We kept pushing it through and eventually things fell into place. My forearm got all cut up trying to access and accommodate the tube from the back access panel after it had gone in. The front gasket most of the time is shot so it’s a good idea to have a new one on hand to put back.

I heard someplace that the split on the bushing should be facing the passenger.

Roy Works says:

Another great how to, love this project it really makes me want to get a beetle

James Semertzides says:

Could you tell us where do you order the German coupler Bushings from? Trying to find the German type so I can order a set. Thanks.

pretzyldog says:

That front drivers side tire looks like some of the ones I rode on in my high school cars. LOL.

VWJAWBREAKER says:

Excellent video! People will reference this for years!

Dave Giller says:
